Legal Issues for Photographers -Seminar
Legal Issues for Photographers with Alicia Wagner Calzada – Nov. 16th, San Antonio, TX
ASMP-A/SA in association with NPPA Presents
Do you know what your legal rights are as a photographer? What about your responsibilities as a professional and any potential liabilities that may result from your actions? Do you wonder what that “indemnity clause” means in the contract you’re about to sign? Confused about why you should register your copyrights? In these days of ever changing digital technology, complicated contracts, work for hire, decreased budgets and even the fear of terrorism, knowing our legal rights and how they effect us and our businesses can be as important to our success as the ability to make great pictures.
In this seminar, Attorney and long time photojournalist Alicia Wagner Calzada will explain what photographers need to know about the law – to protect both ourselves and our clients, avoid sticky legal situations, better understand contracts, protect our intellectual property, and plan for the future.
